We had a dead heat in the second edition of our Battle of the Bands.
Veteran roots-rock band Les Gruff and the Billy Goat, who opened the show on a humid Saturday afternoon, and newly formed rocker Macrobliss, the seventh act to perform, finished the contest in a dead heat in voting by fans and judges.
The two bands share the day's cash prize of $2,000 -- $1,000 to each band -- and are invited to return to Sun Valley Jams for Battle #5: The Grand Finale on Sept. 6.
Thanks to all the bands who appeared Saturday. Every one of them were excellent. We had a great day of music. The talent was phenomenal. Mark, Lyn and I are looking forward to working again with every one of you.
Here is a look at the co-winners. I'll be back with a couple of more posts over the next day or two to wrap things up with Battle #2 and to start the countdown for Battle #3, July 5.
Macrobliss is confirmed for the Grand Finale. Invitations are out to Les Gruff and the Billy Goat and Battle #1 winner Lunar Levitation.
